Of course they could of added simple 12MP telephoto lens, but it would of not made a lot of difference between regular 6 and 6 Pro, iPhone 13 don't have telephoto lens either.

      Ok honestly ... why the hell did they pick a wide and ultra wide lens... tbh a zoom lens is much more versatile ... I've used zoom lens on my phone more then the wide one.

                        [deleted post]Don't you think you should understand what the comment is about in order to report it?

                          The one great thing I read from it is Tensor is 80% faster than Snapdragon 765G. We'll have to wait and see because they're just claims for marketing. They're never truly honest.

                          I have no problem with Google using African-Americans in their ads. I'm not a liberal like Big Tech is but I have no problem seeing faces that isn't the typical Caucasian. It's about time we see more diverse faces in marketing.

                          I still feel Google has never match close to perfection as the Pixel 3 reached. The 2 and 3 were Pixel at their peak. Messed up on the 4, 5, and 6. The 6 will get the early hype but it will fizzle out within a week.

                          People will return it or hate how tall they are. Just another boring slab. Nothing to get excited about. Having a nice camera is not enough to attract buyers when they haven't improved much the last few years.

                            Awful artifacts! I have never seen a Nexus/Pixel phone with such artifacts, though iPhones can have similar issues.

                              AnonD-762416, 11 Oct 2021It's a 10-BPP sensor, made for Samsung's mid rang... moreHi, Google Camera blends multiple exposure and produces a fused 14 bit RAW image, which will be available to users so that they can edit it afterwards. This makes Pixel 6 the best phone for casual photography because there should be so much exposure latitude in the image to work with! Other phones will not even come close without a ported Google Camera app.

                              Meanwhile, RAW on S21 Ultra is 10 bit in depth and NOT 12 bit, though I know why you got confused.
                              Indeed, it can output the image in 12 bit container format(therefore Samsung's spec sheet says RAW12), but the actual analog to digital conversion accuracy is only 10 bit, so everything from color gradient to shadow noise level is what you can expect from a 10 bit image. This is an strange choice from Samsung and I am not quite sure why it had to do this, maybe it wanted to reduce production cost, but juuust maybe.

                              You are welcome and have a nice day!

So far I haven't found any samples showing that they don't deal with moving objects well in low light, could you point to specific samples that indicate that's the case?

                                        Nate, 11 Oct 2021Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra have superb 5X Zoom via same 48MP IMX586... moreYes, the Xiaomi 11 Ultra occasionally seems to use the 48 megapixel mode of the tele camera. But it seems that Google won't do that and will only use the 12 megapixel mode. According to the Carphone Warehouse leaks, the maximum zoom setting of the 6 Pro is only 20x as I mentioned. That's quite low for a 48 megapixel 4x camera as this is only 5x digital zoom in relationship to the periscope camera (20/4 = 5). 5x digital zoom is very often used as the maximum zoom setting of 12 megapixel sensors whereas 48 megapixel Bayer sensors would allow for 10x digital zoom with similar quality in good light conditions. So, if Google could really leverage the full resolution of the 48 megapixel sensor of the periscope camera, the maximum zoom setting wouldn't be 5*4= 20x , but 10*4 = 40x.
